Writer of Princess Ka'iulani' movie takes pop shot at Tiki Bars:

He writes: "The single most important thing this film is going to accomplish is to show the world that the Hawaiian people had a real culture, real history, and undo a lot of damage this tiki-bar culture has done over the years."

I think you meant "Potshot" not "Pop shot". See definitions below:

Potshot: A critical remark made in a random or sporadic manner.

Pop Shot:

  1. A quickly aimed or haphazard shot with a firearm.

  2. A slang term used to describe a person ejaculating (in film or video, or image in a pornographic magazine), usually onto a person or object.

The latter is pretty funny to visualize in the context of the original post. :)

I hope your not going to bust me for chewing gum in class too!!! :)
In a way he was kind of ejaculating on the tiki bar culture with his half cocked insult.
Popshot wasnt really in my vernacular or on my radar i must have phonetically spelled that one out.
Good thing you were on top of that popshot (or somewhere in the vicinity)
Thanks for policeing TC keeping everyone safe from dangerous grammatical offenders like myself. :)
